SPOTLIGHT | MAIN FRAME
Main Frame has been around since 2002 and in 2020 was purchased by long-time employee Nathan Trampe along with his brother Micah Trampe. To keep it in the family they also employ their brother, Matai Trampe full-time at Main Frame. In a world of online shopping and big box store options, Nathan encourages people to get their framing done with Main Frame because as he put it, “Micah and I are both local artists and art is our passion. We are perfectionists and can make anything you want. We can accommodate all price ranges and even offer all in-stock frame options at 25% off all the time.” Nathan emphasized that they strive to make sure their prices are low and the quality of the work is high. With a quick turnaround time of two weeks or less, depending on how much work they have, you can’t beat that kind of service anywhere you go. While chatting with Nathan, he pointed out that he, Micah, and Matai were working on stretching an original 4x8 painting from the Sheridan Inn, they have stretched four additional pieces for the ballroom to help enhance and preserve the artwork. Nathan pointed out several hand-crafted items they carry at the shop, but the one that excited him most is their new house brand called “Full Time Artist”. The shirts and stickers are fun and creatively designed to have a Wyoming theme with a twist. Nathan explained that he designs all of the shirt and [...]
SPOTLIGHT | JACKALOPE RANCH MERCANTILE
Jackalope Ranch Mercantile was opened in 2021 by owners Pamela and Wayne Gable. The boutique surely isn’t their first endeavor, Pam and Wayne have been Sheridan business owners for decades. From Sheridan Seed Company to a knitting store, and a boutique in the Holiday Inn to renovating a building and creating Java Moon and Over The Moon in 1999, they are anchor stores in the downtown. Pam and Wayne’s last establishment was Twisted Hearts, a boutique much like Jackalope Ranch Mercantile with an adjoining coffee shop named Red Velvet. From Twisted Hearts, Jackalope Ranch was born and carefully designed just a block down and across the street. When speaking to Pam, she spoke lovingly of the inventory she carries. She said that when looking for items and brands to carry at Jackalope Ranch Mercantile she looks for inspiration from other beautiful towns while traveling. She seeks out similar stores to hers to help cultivate ideas to bring back to Sheridan. The eclectic and well-put-together inventory is always shifting and caters to every age group. Pam stated that she seldom goes to markets and tries to bring in goods that nobody has in town. When Pam was asked what sets her apart from other boutiques she said, “I think visually. I try to envision what people want to see in Sheridan. I am forward thinking and seek out unique things to share.” Pam stated that, “When I travel, I love seeing what other towns and downtowns are doing, I see [...]
SHERIDAN MAIN STREET PROJECT | UPDATED CLOSURES
With another section of Main Street closed from Grinnell Street to Brundage Street there is a new list of businesses in the closure. All affected businesses in the closure are listed below and the bear paws indicate which stores have alley access and side street access (to the best of our knowledge). Many downtown businesses have taken the time to spruce up their back alley entrances to allow better access to their stores. As a reminder, sidewalks on Main Street will remain open during the road closures and there are free public parking lots close to downtown to accommodate easy access to businesses! Thank you for Bearing With Us as we navigate through this time as a downtown community.
